New YORK, September 21.-Before
the Pacific Railroad Commission to-
day Attorney A. A. Cohen in answer
to requests for vouchers as to large dis
bursements made by Huntington
stated that Governor Stanford had re-
fused to forward them, as the Com
mission already had great many inn
portant documents OF the company,
which they failed to return and he
did not propose to entrust any more
such papers with the Commission.
HUNTINGTON EXAMINED.
G. p. Huntington was particularly
questioned with reference to those
vouchers which bear his signature
and appear to be for the legal services
and expenses account. Mr.. Hunting
ton began to get excited and exclaimed
dramatically 81 never wrote a letter
that l would not be willing
to have published to the world
and posted on every bulletin. l never
used money to influence Congress-
men. 1t would be strange if among
400 there should not be some corrupt
men, though" Mr.. Huntington said
that he did not think Scott ever paid,
or offered to pay, for the votes of
members of Congress. AS to his
statement in another letter that the
committee on railroads in the House
was fixed up by Scott, the witness
said: ~ don't think that anybody
was bought with money"
WARM WORDS.
After G. p. Huntington had been
under examination for some time, he
began to get angry with suggestions
in Anderson's interrogatories that
there was something venal in the
language of his letters to
Cotton, and he proceeded to make an
impassioned speech. He said: ga
lot of thin-skinned politicians are
always ready to place wrong con-
struction on my language, and l see
that it has even disturbed this Com
MISSION"
Commissioner Anderson" These
letters are produced to ascertain if any
of the money represented by these
unexplained vouchers was used to pur-
chase legislation"
Mr.. Huntington-'I can say en-
phatically that it never was"
1t was decided that he should sub
nit some scheme for settling the
affairs of the road and the Govern.

SAN Francisco, September 21.-Col.
Robert G. Clowry, Vice-President and
General Manager, Charles H. Somers,
Chief Electrician and Mr.. Bristol
Chief Conductor of the Western
Union Telegraph Company are in the
city, and will also go to Los Angeles,
San Diego, and other Southern cities.
Business in this State" said Col.
Clowry, has been getting ahead of us,
especially Southern California, where
our comparatively limited facilities
have given the people just grounds for
complaint. One party is now out for
the purposes of inspection and report
ing on needed repairs and new i'm
provements. We are now engaged in
laying short line to Sacramento.
A FINE PIECE OF WORK.
We are alsoJrebuilding the line from
Colfax to Reno which, l think, will be
the finest in the world. 1t will con-
sist entirely of copper and large gauge
iron wire. The poles for this new
route were brought from Michigan
during the low freight rates. We are
also rebuilding from Port Costa to La
throp, from San Jose to San Francisco,
and also from San Jose to Templeton.
On the route to Oregon we are en-
gagged in removing the line from the
highway to the railroad.
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
We are equally busy. We are put
ting up new lines from Los Angeles to
San Bernardino, to San Diego and to
many towns not yet touched by tele-
graph wires, and an additional line is
under construction from Mojave to
Albuquerque. We have ordered in
struments and material to quadruple
our present facilities between Los An
geles and San Diego and will greatly
enlarge our facilities between San
Francisco and the southern cities. We
expect, also, to have shortly fine
new southern circuit to Los Angeles
from San Francisco via Santa Barbara.

New YORK, September 21.-The

side. In the "Thistle" this does not
extend SO low or so far aft. All talk
of her model being so different from
the standard is all nonsense. She is u
typical cutter.

Willamette Valley and Coast Railway
Company to-day filed with the Secre-
tary of State an outline map of the
route of the Oregon Pacific road al

NEVADA NOTES.
Successful Inauguration of the
State Fair at Reno.


RENO, New, September 21.-The
Nevada State Fair opened here to-day.
The weather was fine and many visi-
tors are in town. Exhibits come in
on every train, and it looks as though
the accommodations will be greatly
taxed to meet the demands. The live
stock displays are especially attractive,
comprising as they do much fine
blooded stock. The pavilion exhibit
is by no means complete. Though
every available foot of space was en-
gagged week ago, the exhibitors have
been slow in arranging their exhibits.
The display will unquestionably be
larger and more attractive this year
than ever before in Reno.
